Dear Congregation,

We know that many of you are eagerly awaiting the reopening of in-person worship at Lake Cities United Methodist Church and we have wonderful news for you! The Administrative Council of Lake Cities United Methodist Church has unanimously voted to reopen in-person worship at Lake Cities for a targeted date of February 21st. The reopening of in-person worship will follow the same protocols from September’s reopening and we are fairly confident that we will stay open for in-person worship through Easter and beyond. We understand that some may choose to continue worshiping from home and we will continue to offer an excellent online experience for those who do. We would like to thank all of you who have been patient with us as we have sought to “do no harm” by closing in-person worship through the holidays. With the projected reopening on February 21st, we are fairly confident that the hospital occupancy will be more favorable and vaccinations efforts will continue to allow us to remain open for in-person worship. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to beginning the season of Lent with you in February.

In God’s grip,

Pastor Chuck Church
